New video: Interview with resident artist Jessica MacMillan

"…there’s a gap between our everyday lived experience and our larger reality, which is on a planet, in a solar system, that’s within a galaxy among billions. Keeping all that in your mind as you live your life is just not something we think about very much.."

In November 2021 Artica resident Jessica MacMillan presented Time Line, a one-of-a-kind short term public project which took place for the first time in Longyearbyen. Drawing a line of light in the sky with a powerful 10-watt laser, Time Line marks the exact direction our solar system is moving in space.
